Furthermore gdm +relies on the existence of a `nobody' user. Create these before +running make install. + +You should run ``make install'' as root to get the permissions right +on the authentication directory. + +Configuration is done by editing the gdm.conf file (located in +<prefix>/etc/gdm/gdm.conf). If no config file exists, make install +will create one for you. + +Put your (jpg, gif, png, xpm) picture in ~/.gnome/photo to make it +appear in the face browser. + +When reporting bugs you should first turn on debugging in +gdm.conf. Your syslog daemon might not log debug information per +default so you should make sure daemon.debug events are logged to a +file. Include the resulting log in your bug report. + + |
